Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

I can’t believe it has been one year since Melissa and her husband, Mark, were taken from us. Melissa was not only my dear friend, but she was also a remarkable woman whose strength and compassion left an unforgettable mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

So let me get this straight. They KNEW, or they FOUND OUT that Trump raped children. And instead of being REPULSED, HORRIFIED or DISGUSTED they held a meeting to cover up his despicable crimes. Every single one of them MUST NEVER be allowed to forget their complicity in child rape.

Epstein is still paying the legal fees of witnesses in this case—including his assistant Lesley Groff, who we interviewed in @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social this week. We know paying legal fees was one of the ways he exercised control and evaded justice…and it continues today even in death.

What’s happening inside these facilities is dangerous and it is wrong. We’re grateful for the members of Congress who are investigating the conditions in which pregnant and postpartum detainees are being held. bit.ly/49Jcaa5

House Oversight's Robert Garcia says Dems will release a new report May 12 that he says will detail, from bank records, how the sweetheart deal that Alex Acosta helped further enrich Jeffrey Epstein and expand the network of sexual abuse of adolescent girls. "This report is just the beginning."

I can tell you from experience that of people actually read and shared stories about Trump and crypto, more people would know. The stories are written. And ignored.

ATTKISSON: What happened to the audit of Fort Knox? TRUMP: What are you talking about? A: You & Elon Musk talked about auditing the gold T: We wanted to go knock on the door and see whether we have any gold there. We played with that. I wonder if they left the gold in Ft Knox bc they steal a lot.

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

Next week we are headed into the belly of the beast—to hear directly from survivors. West Palm Beach, FL, was not only a testing ground for Epstein’s abuse of survivors, but the system itself. He rigged the system to escape justice for decades. A system he replicated in NM and Zorro Ranch.

NEW: Last year we published a story about how Trump’s Department of Education halted thousands of civil rights investigations. But there is no publicly accessible way to track the status of those cases. We are suing to get info that belongs to the public. By @charlesornstein.bsky.social

King Charles at State Dinner: “You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”

Imagine getting in a time machine and going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that the King would one day be reminding America about the importance of democracy and our checks and balances. That is the timeline we’re living in.

Given this argument, I assume it's too dangerous for the President to go golfing anymore, right?

Mike Johnson: "The ballroom will be a solution for this. It'll have 7-inch thick glass, so it'll be a very safe environment to do events like that. We need a place like that and the president keeps pointing it out."

BRENNAN: The shooter had multiple weapons. You said he traveled from CA across the country by train. How did he do that? BLANCHE: This isn't about making laws more restrictive BRENNAN: I'm asking about crossing state lines w/firearms BLANCHE: I don't think that's something we should be focused on
